I genuinely really enjoyed this session. It was well suited to the work we will be doing and handled the topics appropriately. This session has made me much more confident on how to handle a situation. I thought the video was also especially helpful as it shows a good example
I think what was most striking for me was that listening and exploring was the most important step. I had always thought it was to recognize and ask and now knowing what I know, it means I must work extra hard to ensure that I listen and explore no matter how hard it is and how great my desire to help before jumping right into action.
I really enjoyed the training and our instructor. The content was informative and easy to digest. I feel more equipped to recognize signs and have conversations surrounding suicide. For future courses, it would be helpful to have more break out discussions and interactive courses.
Really good training, I will definitely use these tools.
Very informative. Breaking the stigma around suicide & knowing it’s actually ok to embrace the idea or topic with an individual you may feel is showing suggestions or signed Having the confidence now is comforting. Thank you
A very informative course full that has educated me and prepared myself to deal with suicide related situations.
Really helpful course covered a lot of content and made you think of things and wording/phrases that I hadn’t before, some really useful tips to take away and keep in tool kit in case I ever find myself in a position to help someone in crisis
I think there should be role plays to practice these conversations as it is easier to talk about than to do in practice, and feedback on how to improve our skills is important. We should acknowledge not all people who die by suicide will give obvious signs, whilst it is our responsibility to ask the questions and be vigilant it is not always possible to intercept or realise in advance, and this can leave bystanders with lasting trauma. So please be mindful of this - whilst we hope suicide is preventable sometimes it is very difficult for others to see coming or to prevent, as the person themselves can mask or deliberately keep things hidden. Please be mindful many attendees will have had their own experiences on this topic, either directly or indirectly and be sensitive in language (eg all suicide is preventable can be difficult to hear).
I think it would be very useful to talk about means especially if there are specific means more prevalent in different groups. And I think it would be more beneficial to talk about real life examples (especially difficult ones).
